FabMan has described the steps here to make the tablet look more closer to stock Android.


For those paying in USD this is how you get the correct exchange rate in PayPal:

AliExpress trade in USD and the ~ before the AUD price in the deal means about or roughly. Setting overseas websites to AUD or letting PayPal do the currency conversion results in an inflated rate. To get the correct rate you need a card without international fees and do the following:

  • Set the website currency to USD
  • Checkout with PayPal
  • Select your card with no international fees
  • Click "See currency options"
  • Select USD to bill the card in USD instead of AUD
  • Proceed with checkout

Now you'll get the correct MasterCard or VISA exchange rate.

    It’s a wonder Lenovo doesn’t sell these more spec’d up versions in Australia. Probably because local pricing would be close to that of an iPad and 95% of folks would just buy the iPad. Understandable, have a nice day.

    • +11

      This one has the local equivalent with the differences being that in AU it has a Matte display, 256GB UFS 4.0 storage and the Lenovo pen is included.

      • +1

        A bit under $100 cheaper than an iPad.. which for a lot of people is still enough reason to bump up to an iPad, even though you get less storage, etc.

        • +13

          These are 12.7”. You won’t be able to get an iPad 12.9” for $100 more…

      • If only the local price was at least same as in US

  • +1

    they dont sell the 256 variant in this listing which is annoying, cant get cashback if you want 256GB

  • +2

    Any deals on the Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad 2025 11" version? I had a poke around and I'm seeing so many of the global roms, but the CN ones you recommend seem pretty sparse and more expensive. I want the specs of these but even 11" is pushing what I want to be carrying around in terms of size.

    • Agreed and I’m trying to do exactly the same as you. Found some CN versions that are only $10 to $15 more so I guess I’ll go for them. It’s weird because a week ago it seemed like the CN versions were more common and also cheaper

  • What is android like on tablets ?

    • +4

      Good, It works well, is there anything specific that you want to know?

      • How is the app situation compare to an iPad. Maybe this is not a thing anymore ?

        • -1

          I got mine in the mail last night from a similar deal last week.

          I haven't used Android in over a decade prior to buying this but I gave my iPad to my dad and needed something to watch stuff on.

          It felt a bit weird tinkering with all of the settings. Android gave me a degree of freedom that was strangely uncomfortable? After being solely on iOS for so long. Adding new keyboards, launchers, being able to change the UI at the drop of the hat; it's just more freedom that comes with risks of being a bit less of a secure platform.

        • Same situation as iPad, if there isn't a tablet specific app it will just show the phone app enlarged in the middle of the screen with empty borders around. Works well for everything I've used.
          Also supports windowed app multitasking, PC mode, etc. Pretty versatile.

        • If anything, there are more apps compared to ios (iPad), if there isn't an app, the mobile version will load.

          There's also "easy mode" that makes everything simplified.

          Settings - display - easy mode

  • +2

    Any recommendations for a keyboard to go with this?

    • I would like a case recommendation too - Thanks

    • Did you have any luck finding anything decent? Cheers.

      • No. I'm still after a keyboard recommendation - probably one of the other listings would have one.
        Also wanting a way to magnet mount one for a flush home assistant dashboard

  • How's the quality on this model? If any issue will be a pain to claim warranty?

    • +8

      warranty?

      Mate, you're buying a Chinese product from a Chinese website at a Chinese pricing.

      • +6

        Thx, so most of the cases if any issues will just throw to the bin I guess …

      • Almost everything is made in China, most definitely electronics

      • Aliexpress = Selected chinese product at premium pricing

  • Would shopback/TCB work with the codes listed above? Just check SB, the codes aint listed there

    • SB tracked for me.

      • aren't SB and TCB expired already for these? you guys are refering to "17.5% for existing customers. 35% for new Shopback and Aliexpress customers"?

        • Yes expired already.

  • Does this have google play? Asking as I'm considering using it as an android auto headunit alternative in an older prado.

    • +1

      "To enable Google Play, go to Settings > App Management > 3 dots top right > Google Basic Services > Turn on.
      Then download Google Play from the Application Center or sideload an apk yourself."

      But, this would be super overkill for an Android Auto headunit.

      • +1

        super overkill for an Android Auto headunit.

        Not if you need it for a visual GPS.

        • haha yeah for real, I don't know if any of you ever get triggered by laggy headunits or slow android autos

          • +1

            @dntfkwthunicrns: Just make sure that before you buy this that it's not too big for a headunit, 12.7" is big (yeah yeah make the joke).

            • +1

              @GTR12: can't relate i'm asian HAHAHA, nah but it should be ok, the prado armrest box is MASSIVE too. Tablet should be fine, would be a huge upgrade over the current aging 5" headunit in terms of size and speed (plus the added benefit of being a normal tablet outside of driving)

  • Is there an actual model number to this to look up info?

    • +1

      TB375FC

    • Looks like it might be ZAE4 or ZAE5

  • I commented in a closed thread, but the 12GB/256GB model (with folding case) is $360 inc GST shipped from Goldway reseller on AliExpress

  • LCD and the same mediatek cpu as the 2024.. bummer. will keep using my 2022 oled snapdragon.. i got the 2024 mediatek variant and it was edit: nope i got the 2025 it seems, TB375FC - it is a big downgrade in emulation performance and a huge downgrade in battery life, so just a heads up. No idea how you can say the 8300 is a bit better than the sd 8.1.. i'm guessing from benchmarks that ignore the battery and app/emulation support?

  • I have the galaxy tab s7+ 5g. I believe it's 12.4inch screen . it now has crack on screen and updates are no longer supported by Google. use it mostly for traveling, watching YouTube and movies etc…. wouldn't mind bigger size screen. Do I have any options for a realistic price with good performance ? If not does this tablet beat the s7+ ?

    • +1

      This tablet is a beast for what you will use it for

    • Get the smaller one OP linked. The smaller screen makes it much easier to take travelling imo, especially when using it on planes and road transport

      • I have found the 12.7inch s7+ perfectly fine.. especially in a hard case. Fits fine in my carryon untill I threw my keys across the room and chiped the corner of the screen. Fits the trays in planes fine as well. I was actually looking at the ultras but I'm sure they are a touch to big …

        • +1

          Ultra is great with a magnetic stand. Fairly unwieldy without one

  • +3

    Man why are none of these OLED displays anymore? Going back to LCD is not ideal

  • Hey guys!

    I currently have a Samsung Tab S7+ 5G, but I’m thinking of switching to a smaller tablet since it doesn’t fit in my sling bag.
    Do you think this one is worth buying? Or are there any better alternatives?

    I mainly use it for photo and video editing, and watching YouTube.

    Thanks in advance!

  • Is there a specific stylus/pen that work with these? Any recommendations on deals? Plus a case for it?

  • These are great, however just note that some updates may break L1 Widevine for awhile like it did on the 2024 and some other models……
    They do eventually fix it, but could be broken for 6+months until they come up with a new update.

  • +2

    Aussie hands-on review of this - it's awesome. Some minor tweaks, play store install (see video). I'd recommend getting offical case, real nice. Case adds weight though.

    • Thanks for sending this.

      This video helped me click the button.

  • Are you sure this model has an SD Card slot?

    • 150%. Even JB say the same.

  • Did anyone manage to get TCB or SB cashback? I.e. did the purchase track? I am little confused about whether this product is affiliated or not and couldn't see the codes on the cashback sites. Cheers.

    • TCB tracked for me ($30 cap), on the 15% TCB post TA mentioned the code/vouchers can be used. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/932847

      Also on the AliExpress section on the TCB website, there’s a link there to check affiliate items

      • Thank you 🙏

  • +1

    Thanks @Clear
    Been following your tablet deals for a while and pulled the trigger on this one. :)

  • Bought the 256gb and no regret, great for watching YouTube. Very happy

  • Ozbargain please help me out with a bulk purchase and shipping speed. In the absence of the sellers reply or any other advice I will likely make three separate orders, add the Lenovo pen ($40) and ship to different addresses. The idea is to avoid consolodation delay by Aliexpress. I am undecided if I should order the fourth item for myself from Aliexpress or Taobao.

    I want to purchase 4 of the 256 GB versions for family members, to be eligible for TRS GST refund (refund may or may not be possible, I can only try) I need to purchase on two invoices so the invoice is over $300 but less than $1000. However the listings say max 1 item per shopper, is there any way around this? I have sent a request to the seller but I am not hopeful they will reply.

    I have also noticed various listings from the same seller with various prices, even within the same listing there appears to be identical options with different prices. Eg, this seems to be the cheapest, AU$281.92 (I will pay in USD to get it cheaper):
    https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009412537164.html

    My other issue is the delivery has seem to have blown out in the last day or two so I will plead with the seller to ship ASAP, with threat of returning the items if they do not arrive in time.

    I have other items to order, does anyone have any view whether this will slow down shipping since Aliexpress may consolidate the items?

    I am actually travelling to China but the Taobao prices seem higher and I would like these for the plane ride over.

    • +1

      TRS refund won't work because AliExpress use their platform GST number which is given to overseas stores without a local presence instead of an ABN.

      Big sale events like 11/11 clog the postal network in China big time so some products may get delayed. There isn't really a way to speed it up. Some smaller products with Choice shipping may consolidated then into a single larger bag. A tablet like this would be sent separately.

      As for multiple listings they exist for different promotions with this one being the cheapest.

      • Would be very surprised if the GST even goes to the tax office. They usually charge the incorrect amount aswell, and dont want to discuss it, and either do the tax office. Too hard basket.

  • Do these have the same "Like Paper" screen as the Tab P12 Pro ?

    • Nah just the standard non Matte display.
